The floor has been patched again und again, until but little of the original floor remains and ft is so far be- low the surface of the patches that its dis- covery would invariably result in a physical shock to the person ariving across.

The police were put on the track of the villain, and there is buv little doubt that he will bo apprehended. The description which was fur- nished the police fits almost exactly the fellow who made practice of doing the same sort of thing several months ago.

NEWS FROM COUN Sheriff Hazen Makes an Important Discovery in a Prisouer's Papers, BURGLAR TAYLOR'S TROUBLES ‘THICKEN He Mas Been Drawing a Penston for Three Yenrs Which Was Palpably Obtained by Frand-Wil Be Turned Over to Uncle bam, L C.Taylor, who was arrested Wednes- day night while trying to rob a house on Pierce street, was given a preliminary hear- ng yesterday morning in police court, and was identified by the girl who owned the stolen property as the guilty party. He was bound over to the grand jury, and as ho was unable to furnish & bond of $300 he was sent to the county jail for safe keeping. The developments made yesterday indicate that he isoneof the biggest all-around rascals that has ever set foot inside the Pottawat- tamic connty jail, and the chances are that he will be given a chance to exhibit his paces in the United States court for defrauding the governmont. As s00n as Taylor showed up at the court louse terday he was recognized by Deputy Sheriff O'Brien as a man who was sent to the penitentiary about seven years ago for a year's confinement for burglary. He worked his way into the Kiel hotel one night, broke into & room, and was just let- ting the occupant's trunk down out of the window when he was discovered by the proprictor and landed in jail. His name appears on the county jail record no less than eight times, once for burglary, once for highway robbery, and the other six times for larceny. He aroused Sheriff Hazen's suspicions yesterday by his evident anxiety to get possession of certain papers that were among his effects. He asked for them three times within a tew minutes, and Hazen de- cided that if they were so valuable to Tay- lor they might be equally valuable to him. Mr. Taylor Drawa a Pension, He accordingly went through them and found evidences that Taylor had been draw- ing a pension for the last two or three years on the strength of his enlistment as private in company H, Thirty-ninth regiment of Missouri volunteers. The papers indicate that he pretended to have lost his original proofs of honorable discharge, and managed 10 get a duplicate from the goverument, He was granted a pension of $13 per month on account of catarrh in the head, deafness in both ears and rheumatism, anda this pension he has been drawing ever since June 27, 1860. The proof of discharge states that he enlisted September 1, 1864, for a term of one year, at the age of 18 years, which would make him 47 years of age now. He gave his age as 36 to Sheriff Hazen yesterday, and his appearance does not make him out a day oider. The ages he has given at the times of his various imprison- ments ranged all the way from 85 to 39, but if the age he gave yesterday was the correct one he must huve énhsted in the armyat the mature age of 11 years. The most piausible theory is that he has gotten possession of the papers of some mun who died, and has gone on drawing his pension. t ho has actually been drawing it is shown by the fact that in his pocketbook is the voucher for the pension which came due July 4, 1593, and it is still unpaid. His Probable Future Address. A lotter is also among his effects. from J. Swope, 1902 Franklin avenue, Houston, in which the latter calis him brother and beseeches to meet him in heaven. The papers will most likely be turned over to the United States authorities today, and there is a strong probability that Mr. Swope will be more apt to find his dear brother in Fort Madison than in heaven.

JOKE ON J1 BISROP, Polloe End His Visit by Arresting Him for Horsestealing. James Bishon was arrested yesterday afternoon by Officers Fowler and Wiatt while having a gaod social timo in one of the houses on Pierce street. Bishop was formerly a hack driver for Willlam Lewis, and hns a police record, having obtained a few dollars some time ago by means of false reprenta- tions, Jack O'Hearn being his victim, A day or two ago & tolegram was received At police heaaquarters asking that he be arrested, as he was wanted in Sioux City 1o answer to the charge of horse stealing. Whilo walking along the street the two officers above named saw Hans Temp, Bishop's father-in-law, making a_general nuisance of himself and ran him in.

Alot of tho property owners of Manawa have boen laying their plans for some time Past to get outside of the limits of the in- corporated town of Manawa, and the out- come of their plans, so far as the present is concerned, was the flling of a petition in the district court.

Brown, the Manhattan Beach' Improvement company, J. W. Squire, William Wray and William H. Beck. They claim in their petition that thoy represent the majority of all the terri- tory included within the corporate limits. The remoteness of their land from the vil- lage improvements, and the fact that they are in no way benefited by being inside the town, are alleged as reasons why their peti- von should be granted. Domestic soap is the best. Protectlon for the Fourth. Mayor Lawrence has yielded at last to howls that have been going up from the Fourth ward residents for the past few years, and has appointed a police officer, to look after the welfare of that part of the city during the night. L. B. Cousins, who was formerly connected with the city marshal's department, is the appointee. The territory which he is to have in charge is one of the best residence portions of the city, and although hold-ups and burg- laries have been of frequent occurrence for a long time past, this is the first effort that has ever been made to furnishthe police protection which the citizens have been ask- ing for. .- WEATHER FORECASTS.

It was a gume of mystification in which he greatly delighted. At g dinner given bim” by leading Comstockers at the International hotel, Ward played his trick on Mark Twain, all present being let into the secret beforehand. He began an absurd exposition of the word “genius, upon the conclusion of which ~ the embarrassed Mark was obliged to acknowledge his inabiiity to comprehend the speaker. *Indeed!” oxclaimed Artemus, and for half a minute he gazed at Mark with a faco in which & shade of impatience began to mingle with astonishment and compassion. “Then, heaving a sigh, he said: “*Well, perhavs I was not suffi- ciently explicit.

Mr. Godhard of Buda-Pesth Tells of n Unique Substitute tor a Newspaper. B. von Harksing, Eugene Goddard, and Stephen Godhard of Buda-Pesth, Hungary, were at the Coates house last evening and left this morning on an early train for Colorado, says the Kansas City Star. Mr. Stephen Godhard told of a novel way recently introduced in Buda-Pesth of disseminating the news of the day. The Teiephonic Gazette has been established there. It is not printed on a perfecting press, in fact, is not printed at all. The editor of the Telephonic Gazette furnishes all the news of the day to his subscribers by telephone at a rate equivalent to sixty cents a month. The subscribers are given a telephone of a special pattern, for which they pay $6. It receives but does not transmit sounds, excel pting from the central office, which Es the office of the Telephonic Gazette. The telephonic instrument accupies a space of about five inches square and has two ear pieces, 80 that two persons can listen t0 the sounds on the wire at once. At 9o'clock in the morning the first edition of the Gazette is announced by the simultaneous ringing of a bell in the houses of the subscribers and the business man and his wife listen to the stories of tho events of the night. The editor is talking to hundreds of other subscribers at the same time and he has the instrument 8o arranged that inquis- itive housewives must content them- selves with his precise statement of the news, and not ask whether the fellow was married or not. He hasn't time, this telephonic editor, to answer all the questions women might ask, or go into all the details of the news. He states it in a laconic way. The second edition appears at 10 o'clock, when the foreign news comes over the wiré in a, condensed form for twenty minutes or less, according to the amount of foreign news on hand. At 11 o'clock the story of ‘the meeting of Par- liament is told, along with divers items ot a local and political nature. The {;ricc of stocks is given, and the wise roker may have tfme to hustie out and get ““long"” or “*short” on cortain securi- ties in time to“save his bank account. At 12 o'clock there'is no edition. The editor of the Telephonic Gazotte, uniike other editors, eats, and is blessed with that desire about 12 6'clock. At 2 o'clock he begins again, though, and gives a concise statement of the debates in Par- liament, telling just what members have been knoclied down and often giv- ing the story of the resignation of the ministry, reported so often in Hungary that it sticks on the wires. At 3 o'clock the editor in the central office opens up on local news again. He tells about fires, riots, and other happen- ings of the day in Buda-Pesth. He gives his subscribers & chance to rest then until 6 o'clock, when he gives literary news and society news, never giving more than five words to the description of any one woman's gown. Sometimes he repeats the latest poem at 6 o'clock, This 6 o'clock edition is popular with the women, and the editor speaks in a soft voice. The7 o'clock editon is the last. 1t gives the reports of concerts and plays in progress. —e— WHAT EVERY MAN IS WORTH. The Chemlcal Compounds of an Average Voter Are Valued at 818,300, An interesting exhibit at the National museum shows the physical ingredients which go to make up the average man, weighing 154 pounds, says the American Analyist. A large glass jar hoids the ninety-six pounds of water which his body contains. Inother receptacles are three pounds of white of egg, a little less than ten pounds of pure glue—without which it would be imposstble to keep body and soul together—43% pounds of fat, 8} pounds of phosphate of lime, 1 pound of carbonate of lime, 3 ounces of sugar and starch, 7 ounces of fluoride of calcium, 6 ounces of phosphate of magnesia and & little ordinary table salt. Divided up into his primary chemical elements the same man is found to contain 97 pounds of oxygen—enough to take up, under ordinary atmospheric pressure, the space of a room 10 feet long, 10 feot wide and 10 feet high. His body also holds 15 pounds of hydrogen, which, un- der the same conditions, would oceupy somewhat more than two such rooms as that described. To these must be added 3 pounds and 13 ounces of nitrogen. The carbon in the corpus of the individual referred to is represented by a cubic foot of coal. It ought to be a diamond of the same size, because the swne is rure carbon, but the National museum has not such a ond'ifl its possession. A row of bottles coutain the other elements going to mako up, the man. These are 4 ounces of chlorine; 34 ounces of fluor- ine, 8 ounces of phesphorus, 3% ounces of brimstone, 24 ounees of sodium, 24 ounces of potassium, oné‘tenth of an ounce of iron, 2 ounces Of 'magnesium, and 3 pounds and 13 oundés of calcium, Cal- cium at present market rates is worth #300 an ounce, so that the amount of it contained in one ordinary human body has a money value‘of $i8,300. Few of our fellow citizens tealize that they are worth so much igtginsically, —— A Remarkablo ¢ In Irish criminalannals there is a re- markuble case towhich that of Henry Duncan may yevprove a parallel, BaYys the St. Louls Globs-Demcciat. A man was on trial for his life in Dublin, and the principal witness against him was a person of the name of Delahunt, who swore to all the facts necessary to secure conviction. When the accused was asked what he had to say why sentence should not be pronounced he said he was innocent of the erime, and that the man who had chiefly testified against him was the actual murderer. Sentence was pronounced in due form, but before its execution the authorities investi- gated the remarkable statement of the prisoner and found it to be true. As a result of further procecdings the prose cuting witness and the alleged mur derer changed places in a subsequent session of the court; Delahunt was hanged and the man of whom he had tried to make & victim of his perjury was pardoned, IFRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1893 GOTHAN'S GOLDEN UEEN Oharms of Head and Heart and Dowered with Millions, THE SOCIAL DEBUT OF HELEN GOULD A Coming Eveut In Which New York So- cloty Is Interested —The Unassuming Young Woman Whose ¥ortone is Estimated at 815,000,000, Among the many social debuts that will take place in New York during the coming ter the one that will excite the most interest is that of Helen M. Gould, only daughter of the great financier and his favorite among all his children. The entrance into society of this young woman is likely to be accompanied not a little stir and comment. Miss Gould has passed the age when young women are as a rule introduced to the social world in a formal way. She is no longer a voung girl in the strict sense of the word, for in the matter of years she is very fairly into the twenties and is grave and womanly beyond her years, She will represent $15,000,000 or more of her own, all good hard cash, or, what is as good, railroad securities whose tendency is ever upward, and property that is always increasing in value. She owns the splendid Fifth avenue resi- dence her father so long occupied, and the great mansion at lrvington-on-the- Hudson, where the Gould family spent the summer., These great properties are the exclusive possession of Miss Gould, and they are gorgeously and completely furnished throughout. To- gether they are worth quite $1,500,000. So, while Jay Gould in his lifetime had many and flerce critics,and although that sometimes nebulous element known as the best society rather looked down on the famous money maker, there is no likelihood that his daughter will be cavilled at unless it be by ambitious matrons with young daughters of their own in the market for disposal to the highest legitimate biddor. Miss Helen Gould is not strikingly handsome, but she is very sweet and womanly in her manner. She need not fear that she will becomo a languishing wallflower in the ball and reception rooms that she will figure in during the social season now drawing near. Her recommendations to favor are too many and too weighty. But as for fortune hunters, they may as well keep their distal Along with her mother’s amiability and sweetness of character she has much of her father’s keenness and strong common sense. Hence, while she will be a_bud worth the plucking, tho man who would pe form that feat must look well to him- self, for he will have no gushing damsel to deal with. Few young women who figure or rea soon to figure in New York's social whirl are so little known as is Helen Gould. Even the leaders in the circles where she is to enter do not_know the young woman well. They know, to be' sure, that she is the daughter of the late Jay Gould, that she is said to be a good and charming girl and that she is enor- mously rich. Their fund of information runs out at this point, and they ave wait- ing with some curiosity to add to it by means of personal observation, The social debut of Miss Gould has been delayed considerably boyond the time that it would have been made by the deaths of her father and mother. There was never a daughter more de- voted to her mother than was Helen Gould to hers during the latter’s de- clining years. The two were very like in temperament, and their constant com- panionship made the daughter the coun- terpart of her mother in disposition and manners-—a result that was good for the young girl, for while the wife of Jay Gould never figured in society, but always shrank from so doing, she was none the less a superior woman in many ways. The death pf this mother threw the young girl upon her own resources. She could not enter into society, and, indeed, had no wish to do so. Instead she de- voted herself to her father, who had be- come partly an invalid, and up to the time of his death she was his mainstay and his solace in his hours of suffering and sickness. And 30 it is that Miss Gould will enter into society a comparative stranger to its members. Those who know Helen Gould give evi- dence that she is attractive both in ap- pearance and manners, Rather retiring and unassuming, she still has that power to charm that marks some young women of more than ordinarily quiet demeanor, She is not what would be called a beau- tiful woman, but she is a handsome one taken from either a man’s or a woman’s point of view. Of medium height, Miss Gould is a brunette, but not a very pronounced one. Her hair is dark, but not of the inky blackness that marked her father's hair and beard, and her eyes are of the unde- finable shade that is neither dark nor brewn, but that seems to change and alternate. Her features are strong with- out the hard lines that were worn into her father's face, and they are further softened Dby the sweeter and wmore amiable traits that came to her from her mother—not strictly beautiful, as has been said, but still & woman whose face would command more than a passing glance no matter where seen. She is of graceful figure and the walk of one used to pedestrian exercise. Such is the greatest heiress in America as she is seen today. Miss Gould's name has ravely, if o appeared in those papers that assume to serve up the small beer of New York so- ciety to those who like that sort of thing. Nor do you often see it in the great dailies, But when you do it is al- ways connected with some act of benevo- lence that has been performed so quietly that even the keen-eyed reporter has stumbled over it by sheer accident. Work awong the m{ poor was Miss Gould’s hobby before her parents died, and since their death she has had more time and more means to continue the WOrk, Jay Gould himself never posed as a benevolent man or & philanthropist. He used to say it was of no use—that he would be merely assailed, and would not have his motives questioned. That he was in a way right was shown when about u year before his death there was a mecting held in his house on Fifth ave- nue to furlhur church work in New York. He did not originate the idea. The ministers asked permission to meet in his house. He gave the permission, and he gave in addition his personal check for §10,000 to help the work in hand, and in addition checks for smaller amounts in the name of other members of his family. For this Gould was scari- fied by tho press, religious and secular, whice pronounced him an osteniatious hypucrlbe and several other things be- sides. It was his first and last experi- ment of the kind, According to the New York Herald it was his daughter who kad brought the affair about, hop- ing for a very different verdict on her father’s action. After this affair she acted as his almoner and his nume never figured in her work,although his check- book wus practically at her command, Miss Gould’s method of doing good is [ practical. She does not | organizations Masto in sond a check to this or that charity and then rest in sweet content, her duty done. Her mothod is more like the parish visitin system that great ladies in Fnglanc sometimes affect as a fad rather than for a botter reason. Jay Gould and h family were attendants at the church of Dr. John R. Paxton, who preaches to more wealth, perhaps, than any other pastor in New York. Miss Gould when in New York always identifies herself with all the mission and benevolent connected with this always stood as ready real work as to contribute in money. She has acted us a Sunday school teacher and, being & tempered young woman, was & success. Asa volunteer parish worker she has been invaluable, for while being gen- orous her strong common sense kept her from being humbugged by o paupers, Her favorite home is hor late fathor's summer house at Irvington, upon which he.spent a fortune, and to good advan- tage. The house romains her property and Miss Gould spends much of the summor there, to the great satisfaction of the poor of the neighborhood. Much was written during Jay Gould's lifetime of the splendid hot- houses connected with his I[rvington home, in which almost every known kind of rare plants and flowers is culti- vated r(-gm-(l\csn of cost. Tt is said that the famous financier used to smile grimly when complimented upon his skill and floriculture. As a matter of fact the multi-millionaire had very little o do with his conservatories save to foot the bills. Ho liked flowers in a negative sort of way, as he liked most of the things that his favorite did, but he left the management of the flowers to his daughter and the oxpert floriculturist whom he employed. Miss Gould has always been more quiet in her tastes than most young women of large means, It is and has been with them the fad to go in for sports and games of almost all sorts. Yachting and coacning come first and less important methods of enjoyment follow in their order. Miss Gould has not, so far as is known, displayed pro- ficionoy in any of those lines. She isa famous pedestrian and a good horse- woman, Her retired life has made of her somewhat of a student and she is a skillful musician. If she ever had liter- ary tendencies, as at one time her father had, she has carefully concealed the fact. Sho is practically mistress of her vast fortune, but it is not likely to suffer at her hands, for she is said to have as keen a mind for business as even hor brother George, now the head of the family and chief conservator of the vast Gould interests. chureh and has to do Sl ol LAVE CARPET RAGS. A Mother's o Ay She Saw fler Baby Playing with Snakes, For some reason it has always boen the general belief among the people who live in the mountains in York, Lancaster and other counties in Penn: sylvania, where copperhead snakes abound, that this venomous snake will not bite childr2n, and there are numer- ous wonderful stories told, especially in the Wish mountains, about the copper- head’s leniency toward children. Out- sido of the mountainecrs these stories have never received credence, but well known family living on the York county side of the Susquehanna is ready to accept them hereafter. The family consists of Jacob Loan, his wife and two children, the youngest a little girl 3 years old. Copperheads are always uncomfortably plentiful in that locality, says the Harrisburg Tele- graph, but this season they have been more numerous than usual, ~The haying and harvest hands have killed from three to ten a day during the past weok | on the Loan farm. 4 One day last week the little 3-year-old was playing in the front yard, and her mother noticed her sitting in the grass near the front gate. Kvery now and then she would be heard laughing glee- fully, and Mrs. Loan finally walked out to see what was amusing the child so much. When the little girl saw her mother coming she called out to her: ‘“Come, mamma, and sce the liye car- pet rags!” At the same time she held up to her mother o snake, which she grasped in the middle of the body, and which twisted and squirmed in the air. Murs. Loan saw at once that it was a copper- head. Although she was almost swoon- ing with terror the child's mother acted with rare presence of mind. Itoccu il to her that if she showed her alarm by erying out to the child the latter would undoubtedly become frightened, and the change that would naturally follow in her handling or sudden dropping of the snake might anger the copperhead and cause it to bite. With a great offort, Mrs. Loan said, qaietly and coaxingly: “Fetch it to mamma, dear. Don't hurt it.” “But there's two of 'em, mamma,” re- d the little girl. “I'll fetch ‘em th.” She reached down and picked up an- CIHME IN HIGH PLACES! It is not strange that some people do wrong through ignorance, others from a failure to investigate as to the right or wrong of a matter. But it is strange, that indiyiduals and firms, who are fully aware of the rights of others, will por- sist in perpetrating frauds upon them. High-toned, wealthy manufrcturing firms will offer and sell to retail me: chants, articles which thoy know to be | | infringements on the rights of proprie- tors, and imitations of well known goods.

She retained her oalmnes and when the child was within a ooup of yards of her spoke to her and said: "Put them on the ground, darling, and lot mamma see them walk." This seemod to please the child, and she placed the copperheads in the path. Tho two snakes caught sight of Mra, Loan, and_instantly their manner changed. The copper spots on the top of their heads began to deepen In color, as it does when the snakoe is onraged,and they both made toward the child's mother, showing great rage. The little girl clapped her hands and started to catch the snakes again. Her mother rushed out of the path and around the snakes, and snatching the child up in her arms flow % the Louse and into it, closed the door behind her and fell to the floor in a dead faint. The other child, a boy 8 yoars old, was in another room making a kite. He heard the noise of his mother's fall and his lit- tle sister crying, and ran into the room. His father was at work near the house, and the boy quickly summoned him. 1t ‘Was some time before the farmer suce ceeded in restoring his wife to conselou ;nws and learned the cause of her swoon- ng. Farmer Loan went into the yard and the copporheads were still there, and still in a beleigeren tmood. They were soon killed. 8o great was the shock to Mrs. Loan that she is still confined to her bed, and the little girl mourned fc her deadly playthings for two or thr days. Stub Ends of Thought.
